CFG Small Charities Programme Travel Bursary Application

 

The  travel bursary supports and increases the capacity of small charities in the rural areas of England and Wales by inviting them to access CFG’s Travel Bursary so that they can attend training and will not be hindered due to location or cost (the travel bursaries are limited).

Charities are not set up with financial management in mind – they are set up in response to a social need, by founders who have a passion to create change and deliver on a mission. Yet, from day one, financial management becomes a factor impacting upon a charity’s success. Strong financial management is not only part of legal governance requirements, but is also vital to attracting funds, and above all, maximising a charity’s impact. At a time when income is stretched and demand for services is rising in many charities, good financial management is particularly important. It is a vital ingredient for charities needing to adapt and evolve in a changing environment.
